Yeah we had a good thing going, but with friends being here it has sort of stuffed up a bit...
forgot to mention that i posted some more pics, i love the one of her in her tummytub...
Prama you mentioned about the liners... did you do anything with the edges? i am using flushable ones at the mo, but would like to swap and only use the flusables for outings.
What should i get?
How are you doing with the nappies, you got BBH too didnt you?

SJ- with fleece liners you dont need to do anything, just cut up the fleece as easy as that. just go to spolt light and get 1/2 metre of micro or polar fleece and you will be set
I use cloth too.
I also love the baby smell and want to nibble Millana!!!
Kanda- most babies do get discomfort from wind, most times it displayed by arcging and bringing their legs up to their tummy. does she have trouble brining her wind up after feeding??? if you want to try a natural product to help i used infants friend with all my children and it worked fantastic.

he he i can just imagine all our babies with little nibbles out of them, like a chocolate
Can you tell that there is CRAP on tv (IMO)
Beatrix, what type of nappies do you use? will give the liners ago, then have to switch to something for cleaning as i feel really guilty as i plough through the wipes.
maybe face washers? what is everyone else using? Heard that camomile tea is great to wet the cloth... any suggestions?

I mainly stick to BBH. cheap and easy.
I do have some home made ones and will prefolds with fleece covers too.
With wipes you can make your own as well, i cant remember what with but i am going to look into making mine as well, will prob be using one side flanette and one side terry towlling from spot light (which in thinner then normal terry)
No sure about what to use as the solution, have you looked at the nappy cino site i am sure that will have suggestions

sj - i use bbhs too, the fitted ones. with the polar microfleece i got 1m at Spotlight. It was less than $10. I cut them up 12cm x 20cm. BBH recommend between 12-13cm x 20-23cm
Setting up a modern cloth system. You dont need to do anything with the edges. They are great, they seem dry when you take a wet nappy off. I wash them all together w the nappies every 2 days.
Going out so far we;ve used disposables unfortunately. I've got Eenee Weenes pants and pads which I should make use of more often. the pants are like disposable nappies and you insert pads that look like sanitary pads. they are flushable but we toss them in the bin. It;s biodegradable.
I know i feel guily using wipes like nobody's business. I;m reluctant to use something reusable for poo.. mainly cos it's a bit gross. But ive read girls using chux cloth and then dipping in water with sorbolene cream to wipe bub's bottom. but at the rate they pee now, that's a lot of cloth too. but i suppose you could wash the cloth after each use and then maybe not have to wait till they are 100% dry cos you're going to dip them in water again?

Thanks Prama, going to look into the fleece.
At the hospital we use face washers to clean poo and wee from adults, they all get washed and then returned, i guess that is more gross as the next week you could be using the same one on someones face that was used the week before to clean poo - THAT is why i dont use facewashers in hospital when i am in!!! it meets the cleaning standards though.
I wonder if you could use the fleece as a cleaner too - i could buy one colour for liners and one colour for washers... humm
I use BBH when i am out, i actually have not used a disposable yet!
The AIO's are better for nappy bags thou, but less absorbent. we went out for the day and Molly did 2 poos and so i had to carry them with me, i take shopping plastic bags with me so just pop them in there, i did consider rinsing them under the tap in the change room, but figured i would do it when i got home!
Think i am going to check out the cloth nappy thread for ideas.
DH and DSS have just set up the activity dome for Molly, they insisted on hanging all the toys on it even though she cant play with it.
Oh and DSS is now picking her up and carrying her very carefully - a huge step for him and he is soooooo proud of himself (for those who dont know us well is 10 and only with us every other weekend). he also spent 20 mins playing with her and got the most amazing smiles from her. i got the v.camera out of course!!!
right off to hang washing and do the cleaning that DH promised to do 2 hours ago grrrrh

Hi all. Thanks for the tips. Been trying to keep him awake during the day, maybe I will just have to try harder! We are BF, occasionally I get him a bottle of EBM. I will try giving him some more food. Hopefully it will help. After my rant yesterday we actually had a good night last night. He settled really quickly after a feed at 4am it was very nice.
A question for you girls using MCN esp. BBH: How long do they take to dry? Do you hang them out or tumble dry them?
